Seamless Integration and Powerful Performance
The PTZOptics Link 4K camera is more than just a PTZ camera – it’s the key to upgrading your AVoIP workflows with the power of Dante. With support for 4K up to 60fps, the PTZOptics Link 4K camera delivers exceptional image quality. Add in HDMI, SDI, USB, and Dante AV-H connectivity, and you have a suite of tools that’s ready for just about anything.
Every Link 4K camera features SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP output for unparalleled performance and versatility. The Link 4K features 4K at 60fps over HDMI, USB, and IP. Using technology by Dante, the Link 4K can also provide 4K at 60fps resolution over Dante AV-H.
The Link 4K offers built-in auto-tracking capabilities — no need to run software on another computer — freeing teams of the need for a camera operator. With 12x, 20x, and 30x optical zoom available, the Link 4K can fit seamlessly into any production scenario.
Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Track.
Control your production from behind the scenes – or right in front of them. The Link 4K’s auto-tracking can lock onto a specific person, even while other people are in frame. Users can switch between on-stage presenters with the click of a button. The Link 4K can track subjects up to 300 feet away.
In addition to the Link 4K’s auto-tracking features, users will also have access to our latest Web UI — updated to provide everything you need in one simple menu. Almost every feature in the Web UI has a tutorial function, perfect for novice producers navigating the settings for the first time.
Discreet Mounting Options
Mount your PTZOptics Link 4K camera above, below or beside the action to capture the ideal view every time. The Link 4K’s automatic video inversion feature senses the camera’s orientation and saves time on installation and setup.
Take Control Your Way

The options for camera control are endless, allowing you to take charge of your camera in a way that fits your workflow.
